Ron Holcomb May 2022 U.S. Senate subcommittee testimony
On Tuesday, May 3, Tipmont Wintek President & CEO Ron Holcomb provided testimony for the United States Senate Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety in Washington, D.C.

2021 Reliability Report
On average last year, Tipmont REMC electric service was active 99.97% of the time. Being that close to 100% is certainly a point of pride, but the .03% affords us opportunities to investigate and improve.

The time is wise to Winterize
October is a great time to plan for winterizing your home. To even think about such a thing on the beautiful 77-degree day when I’m writing this almost feels like blasphemy. But winter’s icy grip always arrives sooner than we think, and it’s best to be prepared. Early autumn’s mild days are ideal for investigating […]
